I didn't forget

My daughter was telling me this morning, "Today I am going to do this and this and this..."
I told her that she needed to do school first and she looked at me and said, "MAN!! You didn't forget!"

Just for the record; we don't usually forget about school.

Law

While driving home from Awana tonight, my older daughter asked what the term "sister-in-law" means.  I tried to explain that when your brother gets married the couple signs a marriage license and the law of that state says that the wife is now part of your family.  She is not your sister, but by the law she is called your sister-in-law.  That must not have been a very good explaination because my younger daughter piped up, "Mom, we didn't really understand that."

Fail.

But my oldest consoled her with the comment, "Don't worry.  When you get older you'll understand stuff like that."

Diaper Bag

My sis-in-law was wondering what a mom needs to have in her diaper bag.  That got me thinking.  What are the things I carry with me in my little bag?  I have a small diaper bag.  I haven't seen too many people with a smaller diaper bag than I have.  Come to think of it, I don't remember ever seeing anyone with a smaller diaper bag than I have.  I must not carry any extra stuff around.

Anyway, these are my must haves:
1) diapers
2) wipes
3) wallet
4) pacifiers
And, if the baby is less than a year old:
5) an extra outfit for the baby

That's about it.  Those are my essentials.

I also carry:
6) chapstick
7) scissors
8) kleenexes
But those items are optional and not in the must have department.

So there you have it.  The items of my diaper bag.
